Story
A gospel, as ancient and authentic as any of the gospels that the Christian bible contains, was buried deep in the Egyptian desert after an edict was sent out in the 4th century to have all copies of it destroyed. Fortunately, some rebel monks were wise enough to refuse - and thanks to their disobedience and spiritual bravery, we have several manuscripts of the only gospel that was written in the name of a woman: The Gospel of Mary Magdalene.

Story
In her number one NYT best sellers, Brené Brown taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong and brave the wilderness. Now, based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers and culture shifters, she’s showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead. Leadership is not about titles, status and power over people. Leaders are people who hold themselves accountable for recognising the potential in people and ideas and developing that potential. This is a book for everyone who is ready to choose courage over comfort, make a difference and lead.

Story
“My first lessons in spirituality and yoga had nothing to do with a mat, but everything to do with waking up. They included angels, seeing God, and being in Heaven. But, believe me, not the way you might think.” So begins Revolution of the Soul. What comes next sounds like a riveting memoir filled with uncensored moments of joy, pain, wonder, and humor. Except, this book is so much more than that. Seane's real purpose is to guide us into a deep, gut-level understanding of our highest Self through yoga philosophy and other tools for emotional healing....

Story
Poppy tears, opium, heroin, fentanyl: humankind has been in thrall to the ‘Milk of Paradise’ for millennia. The latex of papaver somniferum is a bringer of sleep, of pleasurable lethargy, of relief from pain - and hugely addictive. A commodity without rival, it is renewable, easy to extract, transport and refine, and subject to an insatiable global demand. No other substance in the world is as simple to produce or as profitable. It is the basis of a gargantuan industry built upon a shady underworld, but ultimately it is a farm-gate material that lives many lives ....

You need to read this if you wonder where it all went wrong.
The work is a brilliant synthesis of the history of mankind.

Content 5, Audio quality 2
I read this book a long time ago. I loved the book, but I wanted to listen to the author read it.
The audio quality was terrible and made it difficult to listen to in a sustained way. If they cleaned it up, I would listen again. It's sad, because the content is very exciting as is her writing.

Fascinating information
I found the information in this book very compelling and the author's reading was fine, but the audio quality made listening a bit of a chore. I found I had to focus my listening, which was fine for me, listening in the quiet of my own home, but which might be a problem if a more "active" kind of listening is planned. Great information, though, and I'm anxious to read more from this author. A wonderful book.

Mind Opening and Insightful
What would have made The Chalice and the Blade better?
The sound quality was poor so if this was improved the book would be better.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The role of women in society and within the family over the ages is the main focus of the book and it was very interesting to understand how things have changed.
What does Riane Eisler bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Riane showed her passion about the subject as as always, I love to listen to books narrated by the author so that I can hear their passion in their voice.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
The book made me happy and I had a sort of knowing that everything that Riane described was true. It makes so much sense, and the message is powerful.
Any additional comments?
This book is important and I highly recommend it. Riane has deeply researched this subject and it is comprehensive. It's message could help change how humans treat each other, and it could teach us to love each other as equals. I love the message.

Audio is BAD!
What disappointed you about The Chalice and the Blade?
The audio. It was really bad, like extremely bad, I want my money back bad. I have good a good headset, I cant even hear the words they are so slurred with low quality audio. I tried my really good speakers, same thing. I literally cannot understand this narrator at all, and thats not their fault.
Shame on you Audible, usually you do great things but this is unacceptable.
Any additional comments?
The audio was so bad I couldnt review the book as a whole because I couldnt even understand it. DO NOT waste your money on this. I will be getting mine back.

A horrible listen
My wife and I were excited to read/listen to this book as it had been recommended by one of our guides and teachers.
Unfortunately the reading was of such a poor quality that we could not bear it and as such I returned the book to audible after trying to listen to 1 chapter.

Great book but terrible audio
The book is an amazing historical overview with a deep message about how the past centuries have diminished the female nature and how this is impacting humanity as a whole.
Unfortunately the audio is extremely poor. The narrator is ok, but it is hard to hear her sometimes. Very sad that a silly technical issue could hurt such a great book.

Good book, bad audio
Like most others have said, the audio is bad. Sounds like she’s talking too closely to the microphone. If you can let that go for three hours, I’d recommend the book. Very interesting, and makes so much sense.

glimpse into the wholeness of archaic paradigms
A measured comparison of the value structures composing very different anthropomorphic paradigms, convincingly suggesting that the former of the title interwove humans within an Earthly cooperative web of plenty, whereas the latter is cleaved from the systems from which we came, thereby propagating a perceived paradigm of scarcity and the resultant culture of fear. A ripe time for such a read.
